Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

(Published Dec. 2024)

How a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare Taxes

Some of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

NEW: A developer who illegally drained DC wetlands and polluted DC waters will pay $200,000 in penalties.

During construction, RKP installed 200+ groundwater extraction wells — damaging protected wetlands by the Anacostia River.

We also secured the permanent conservation of the remaining wetlands.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

During his second term, President Trump has upended 60 years of civil rights, largely under the guise of attacking DEI. On "The Daily," our reporter discusses the growing fears of what a post-civil rights government will mean for Black Americans.

How Trump Upended 60 Years of Civil Rights

The White House’s assault on federal protections may bring about a new era of unchecked discrimination.

Reminder to our international friends that under no circumstances should you be travelling to the United States. Avoid all unnecessary or leisure travel for your safety and privacy. Palantir doesn’t stop spying on you once you leave the country and it puts your nation at risk. Be aware.

The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

It should be clear to everyone by now that GOP and Trump have no real connection to America or Americans.

GOP and Trump only concerns are looting the treasury, eliminating POC and oppressing the citizens.

Anything else is of no consequence to GOP since the decades long coup is nearly complete.

The metaphorical aspects of this are tragic. Our heritage demolished before our eyes. Also, here's Trump in July: "It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of."

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Trump claims he can “do whatever I want” in D.C., even replace the mayor. Legally, that’s false, but rhetorically, it’s revealing. He’s describing absolute power, and it's an autocratic mindset of someone who sees democracy as a formality.
